I feel like a dumb ass for getting a little to happy with the delete key!! Is there away to retrieve data that has been deleted? I did notice there is the time machine if only (I’m assuming you would have had to set it up??) it worked by it self then I guess it would not be an issue. I also have found that it is rather difficult to find software that can retrieve deleted data on external hard drives…(yes i have done this often so I’m familiar with issue) so hopefully you can help!

Hi vanbarkley96 ,
Unfortunately, WD does not have any software that can retrieve the deleted data. However, you can check out some third party apps that do so.
well I do know about third party software but, I’m finding that they don’t see all extended hard drives I have 2 and it only sees 1 and that’s the 1 I need. Thanks
Is there any software providers better than others? Looking to retrieve original files deleted from an Elements.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you…to retrieve deleted data.

Have you contacted a SanDisk data recovery partner?
Have you opened a Support Case?
If not, contact SanDisk Technical Support for assistance.

Portable SSDs may be affected by TRIM, in which case deleted files are unrecoverable. If the free version of DMDE doesn’t find your files, then they have most likely been TRIM-ed.
As for BLR, it is just EaseUS by another name and a higher price.

As for SanDisk’s data recovery “partners”, there are many reputable data recovery companies who offer the same, or better, service at a fraction of the price.
